Chapter Seventy-Two

Let's not talk about what happened behind Lu Xiangsheng here, just Yang Quan led these big men and walked towards Yangjiazhuang where he was, but this Yang Quan, who crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, did not come to Fucheng, originally he took Song Kuanzhi and them home, but in the end, he was a road idiot, but he couldn't even find the way back to the refugee camp, and when Song Kuanzhi found out that something was wrong, Yang Quan didn't know where to go home.

On this road, because of the war, no one dared to hurry, and in addition to the appearance of their group of people, they walked for a long time, and no one was met, and finally saw a person carrying a burden, Yang Quan hurriedly greeted him, but this person, when he saw Yang Quan coming over, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran,

"Hey, this thing escaped pretty fast, aren't we just asking for directions? was scared into this look, this appearance of avoiding Sanshe, it made people so angry, I really wanted to grab and beat him! A strong man standing next to Yang Quan, looking at the appearance of this person running away in embarrassment, said angrily

Yang Quan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this person's words, he looked back at these men behind him, shook his head, and said that this person was Yang Quan, even Yang Quan had to hide away in fright when he saw such a combination.

These men behind him, I saw them rolling up their sleeves one by one, revealing their strong arms, if one of them was stuffed with a farm tool, they would still be a group of farmers, but they all had bright long knives hanging on their bodies.

Don't say that this people, even the officers and soldiers saw it, and they were afraid that they would be shocked. They look like bandits, no matter how you look at them.

In desperation, Yang Quan had no choice but to let a few people hide under the woods on the side of the road, "Nima, aren't you just asking for directions?" Lao Tzu can't ask if you don't believe it! ”

Song Kuanzhi on the side said with a smile, "Why bother so much, it's better to find someone for a while, and I'll ask for directions." ”

Yang Quan shook his head, "We're looking for a family, God knows how far we have to go, it's better to wait here, let's take a rest."

With that, he squatted on the side of the road, quietly waiting for someone to come. At this time, a strong man who was looking out trotted towards Yang Quan, "Come here!" ”

Yang Quan stood up and looked, only to see a person carrying food in the distance, slowly walked over, Yang Quan waved his hand to signal those strong men, hiding in the bushes, and when this person came to the front, Yang Quan hurriedly gave an order, only to hear a choking sound, the strong men hiding in the woods, jumped out of the bushes, and at the same time they pulled out the long knives on their waists!

The porter was frightened by the scene in front of him, and when he looked at Yang Quan, who led Song Kuanzhi out slowly, he reacted quickly, and suddenly knelt on the ground, "The king spares his life, I have an old mother and a baby waiting to be fed, I hope the king will open the net, I don't want these assets, but please spare my life!" “

Yang Quan looked at this person, but he couldn't laugh or cry because of what this person said. Yang Quan shouted at the strong men, "You still don't put away the knife? We're just asking for directions, do you need to draw a knife? “

Yang Quan said that those men put away the weapons in their hands, and the person who picked up the goods was a sigh of relief. When Yang Quan asked about the path, he realized that they had taken two forks of the road, and Yangjiazhuang, where Yang Quan was located, was on the other side of the hills next to it.

When Yang Quan and his party came to this not too high, but winding hills, they couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, only to see that this hill is not steep, but it is very high, and the mountains are full of wasteland abandoned by people.

Yang Quan and the others climbed to this mountain, Yang Quan leaned over and grabbed a handful of soil, looked at the black soil, and said suspiciously, "It's strange, the soil on this mountain is fertile, and it looks like it is the land that has been raised by people, but how can the good ones be abandoned and not planted?" “

"Alas, isn't it the drought that caused the trouble? Chongzhen five years, the transit, Shunde Guangping people, displaced, the flow of years, General Cao Bianjiao drove away this rebellion, eight years, floods, this year, but the entire north of the south of the drought drought, people fled for their lives, where are there still people here to farm? In addition to the recent apportionment of the Liao salary, this mu of harvest, even this tax can not be paid, farming can no longer support themselves, stay here, can only wait for starvation, the people have to flee the famine. Only those of us who have land and property at home cannot leave our property, otherwise, we would have fled with the famine a long time ago! Song Kuanzhi, who was on the side, sighed and said.

Yang Quan listened to his words and fell silent, in his mind, he couldn't help but think of a sentence "People in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs", and now in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, people are really not as good as dogs in his time.

Yang Quan thought about this, and unconsciously, climbed to the top of this mountain, and when he saw the situation in front of him clearly, he and the people behind him were stunned by the situation in front of him. Looking at the farmland in this mountain col, I couldn't help but be stunned, although this field is barren, but I can see that there is really a lot of this land.

"There must be so many fields, at least a few hundred acres of land, right? That's enough to feed a dozen families! Song Kuanzhi, who was standing behind Yang Quan, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hey, so many fields, can only feed a dozen families?" Yang Quan asked in surprise, you must know that in the future society, one acre of land for one person can definitely be fed.

Song Kuanzhi looked at Yang Quan with a look of disbelief, he scratched his head, to be honest, he couldn't understand how Yang Quan, a farmer, couldn't understand these "That's right, in a mountainous area like this in our north, one acre of land produces one stone of grain a year is already a high yield, ten acres of land and ten stones, it is not easy for a family to feed, if you want to live better and not starve, at least thirty acres of land,"

Yang Quan estimated that there were only three or four hundred acres up and down the mountain, but there were more than ten households? Originally, Yang Quan was still excited to find so much land, but now he was completely hit by Song Kuanzhi's words.

With so many fields and limited production, if you can't grow enough food, the days ahead will be very difficult.

Yang Quan shook his head and led these people to continue walking towards Yangjiazhuang. When they had climbed over a hill, the familiar ruined temple of Wubai Temple appeared in front of him. Under the cypress tree in front of the temple, several long-term workers were squatting and talking, surrounded by some harvested wheat piles, and it seemed that they were resting after finishing their work.

Yang Quan looked at these strange long-term workers, these people are not from Yangjiazhuang, could it be that something happened in this village? Thinking of this, he walked quickly behind the men, only to hear them talking in a low voice

"We don't know if we can come back if we can work here for money, how can the women of this main family resist Yang Yuanwai? If we can't do it, let's stop it."

As soon as this person finished speaking, one of the people next to him said with some hesitation, "Then let's leave like this, haven't we done it for nothing these days?" ”
